I see no RPMs. Just die erosion and the second image the 9 is damaged when something hit the rim and 9.

Coop is correct. None of them are RPMs.

A RPM would look like this:

RPMs actually take on many different appearances. The key difference is actual doubling on the mintmark versus pseudo-doubling caused by a number of other effects.
Coop's post makes it appear that if you're going to find an RPM on a 1929S cent it HAS to look like that one. Not true.

Leonard- you do make a good point- searching BU rolls....varieties are anywhere you find them, but it's the biggest thrill in the world when you pull a dozen of something good out of an uncirculated roll. A major part to finding varieties is knowing where to look. Often, your local dealer won't care at all about varieties and can be an excellent source for fresh BU rolls and even sealed OBW rolls for little or no premium over the value of the roll. BU rolls can yield jackpot type finds!

Fishing is indeed an acceptable summertime substitute for a bag of Lincolns.
And no Leonard- I don't see erosion. Are you referring to the area around the you of TRUST? Do you see like doubling anywhere else on the coin? I know you it's the best your camera can do, but the photos make it tough to say anything for sure.
